Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- C...Victoria, Australia86,245 contributionsWith a background in farming and the Fire Brigade, Albert enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force as a private and was posted to 'B' Company, 26th Battalion, on 24 May, 1915. After training in Egypt his unit landed at Gallipoli on 12 September and Borella, who was promoted corporal later that month, served there until November.
In January 1917 he was promoted to sergeant, and in March was awarded the Military Medal for conspicuous bravery at Malt Trench, Warlencourt. He fought at Morlancourt and Hamel and on 17 July, for 'most conspicuous bravery in attack' at Villers-Bretonneux, won the Victoria Cross. While leading his platoon in an assault on an enemy support-trench, he noticed a machine-gun firing through the Australian barrage; he ran out ahead of his men into the barrage, shot the gunners with his revolver and captured the gun. He then led a small party against the strongly held trench, bombed two dug-outs and took thirty prisoners.
Albert was a really remarkable man... he was racking up medals and probably just thinking that was his job. The memorial, located outside of a nursery, was commissioned by George and Debra Benyon and built in honour of Albury’s only Victoria Cross recipient Captain Albert Borella VC, MM, MID..Written 23 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is now plenty of grassed areas that are powered and there are new amenity block which as new toilets and showers that need a code to get in.
There is an area that is asphalted and fits about 10 vans on it.
Only problem I did find is that the phone GPS initially sends you into the back entrance of the showgrounds that are blocked off. Need to go to Fallon St on the Albury side. Good location.Written 12 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A national competition was held, asking for designs for a new town hall... there were twenty submissions to the competition.
Gordon Mc Kinnnon (Gordon McKinnon & Sons, NSW) was successful . His designs included the Parramatta Park gatehouse, Cherrybrook Uniting Church, the School of Arts at Bowral, Symonds’ Building in Sydney (Pitt Street), additions to the house Adamshurst at Albury, and the town halls in Forbes, Inverell and then of course this hall.
Ernest William Sharp was chosen as a Master Builder to construct the hall. He signed the contract for this in 1907 , it was to cost ÂŁ3707.
It opened in 1908 ... the NSW premier opened it, Sir Charles Gregory Wade. Very important decisions were made in this building... about electricity and sewerage. Neville Wran made money available for the refurbishment of this building in the 1980s... at one point they were looking at demolishing it. Who says that politicians don't make good decisions. :)
What will you see here today? It is quite attractive... it has great architectural lines. It's wonderful to see it sitting amongst the modern cityscape as a testament to the history of the local area.Written 28 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
